Had a fantastic shoot with Brian he is such a great photographer and really easy and fun to work with. He was very adaptable to fit his awesome style around what I was comfortable with and he has a brilliant range of props and accessories. His studio is well equipped, he has great facilities and is a very lovely and pleasant guy. Got my edits back in no time ; great results! Definitely highly recommended!!!

Wow! I have been admiring Brian's work for a while and was so excited to get the chance to work with him.

He is a true professional and made me feel so comfortable and confident from the moment I arrived. He is very calm in his approach to his work, gives good direction where needed, and has an excellent understanding of lighting.

What a fantastic studio he has, with so many exciting and unique props. He was so easy to work with and the time flew by. I really hope we get to work together again in the future.

If you get the chance you simply must shoot with Brian. You won't regret it!

Thank you so much - it was a blast :)

Had an absolute pleasure working with Brian, he was so courteous & lovely, very easy to get along with. His studio is jam packed full of incredible props, lighting & it just brings a shoot to life when you have so many options to work with. He was polite & chatty throughout the shoot, we had a good laugh & he gave great feedback as we shot as well as allowing me to move freely, he did also provide useful guidance & direction.

I would happily return to Brian to shoot again, he is a darling to work with.

I had a wonderful time working with Brian last week. As a photographer myself I couldn't help buy nerd out about his home studio set up when I first arrived. There are tons of props and some sweet lighting, downstairs he also has a makeup table and shower/bathroom. On the walls hung some of his past work, the "mancave" is just a really great environment for art nude. Brian was really considerate as a host and a photographer, he made me tea twice and was open to my ideas for shots. At the end of the shoot he even offered me a ride home because the weather was so crummy and I live close by. I would definitely recommend Brian and would work with him again.

I had my first shoot with ManCave and it was absolutely brilliant. I felt totally privileged to have this opportunity to work with Brian. I really love his style and imagery - just amazing! He's an incredible photographer. We had a long shoot and it was such fun, I soon relaxed even though I was initially out of my comfort zone as I was trying the art nude classic style for the first time. Brian is such a gentleman, his professional manner made me feel really comfortable, even offering me tea and biscuits and ensuring I wasn't too cold or too hot. He had so many fabulous props in his lovely studio which helped create some amazing images. Would love to work with Brian again and would definitely 100% recommend to anyone. Thank you so much!

I had an amazing shoot with Brian at his home studio - I adored this shoot! We created some amazing images and I enjoyed the process so much. He is a breeze to work with and he is so dedicated to shooting beautiful images. We had plenty of breaks and chances to warm up and I'm sure we could have shot for hours more. Hugely recommended

I had my first (hopefully not the last) yesterday, and boy oh boy was it fun!! Brian is wonderful as is his Mancave!! I was made to feel right at home - tea on tap, my own dressing room....what more could you ask for?

I LOVED the Mancave!! So many amazing props! It's like stepping into another world where you can forget everything and just make art! Brian knows exactly what he wants from an an image and it was a privelage to be part of his work! It was also so enjoyable to watch him work - he is so efficient and enthusiastic! The results I've seen look amazing, and I am so looking forward to seeing more!

I could go on forever about how much I enjoyed the shoot but I shan't - I will just say that Brian is an all round lovely person and I really enjoyed his company. But most of all, he is not only a talented photographer, but a real artist!

Would recommend working with him in a heartbeat!

Thank you again :D J

I always admired Brian's work and was really looking forward to our shoot that was scheduled several months in advance. The waiting time was totally worth it! I really enjoyed working with Brian: he is very friendly, welcoming, witty and very respectful at all times. He is a brilliant photographer, and I absolutely loved the images I saw on the screen and the first few I received yesterday (only a day after the shoot - thanks Brian!). Can't wait to work together again, and of course I would always highly recommend Brian to any model!

I had my second shoot with Brian yesterday, just as good as the first one if not better! I can't wait to see the results.

He is a lovely person, friendly and welcoming!

Easy to talk too, and a fantastic photographer for sure!

I am fairly new to art nude but I have to say with his help I have grown to it and love it!

Never a bad image taken! Always so brilliant,

Thanks again :)

Had another photoshoot with Mancave. He is the best nude photographer to my knowledge and very professional and friendly. His works are absolutely amazing.

We turned up a bit late due to traffic, apologies again. Afterwards time flew so fast that we didn't notice it was already a few hours later.

We loved working with him. His studio has so many fabulous things and he uses them to the best effect. I really like his artistic style and absolutely and highly recommend him.

I have admired Brian's work for some time and am so glad I finally got the chance to work with him this year! I had a great time at his studio - his studio set up is fantastic, full of props and amazing lighting, and some fab photography books. Probably also the most well organised studio I've ever set foot in!

As well as being a fantastic artist, he is also a lovely person & really easy to get on with. I am so happy with the images I got from the day, Brian has such a good instinct for how lighting works and for throwing together props that create a particular mood and link together colour-wise. What he creates is classic and beautiful and I would highly recommend him to all models!

I had the delight of working with Brian for the first time today and am already looking forward to working with him again in the future.

Pre and post shoot communication has been fantastic and he was extremely helpful in guiding and tweaking my poses in order to get the best image possible.

He had an exquisite range of props and accessories available to use at the man cave that helped us to produce some beautiful work.

I really like Brian's style of work and he has a very warm and welcoming personality that would help any model to feel completely at ease.

As I said I am very much looking forward to working with this photographer again in the future and can't wait to start sharing some of the images from today :)

I worked with Brian for the first time this week, having been a big fan of his work since I first joined PP :) He was lovely to work with, totally professional in conduct and very friendly and good to chat with too. We shot for several hours and it flew by. His home studio is gorgeous, and even has an aerial point so I got to do some hooping as well as ground-based posing. I recommend working with Brian to other models, no hesitation and can't wait to see the edits! Many thanks Brian :)

Had a great shoot with ManCave today, he's a very good photographer with a great eye (and he let me work my own ideas into the shoot as well!). I can't wait to see the end result and to work with him again!

Enjoyed another wonderful shoot with this fab photographer, this time we were joined by the lovely RebbecaSophia for a soft g/g shoot which went like a dream., thank you Rebecca for helping to make the shoot as good as it was. Brian was as usual well prepared with great ideas for the shoot. This i think was our fifth or sixth shoot, they all seem to get better as we go along,

Looking forward to next weeks shoot....

Well, I dont think I can add anything different to the wonderful comments that have already bern left, but here we go!

Brian is a flipping awesome photographer: excellent pre-shoot comms, wonderful host (tea on tap- just the way it should be)! skilled with his lighting and has the Man Cave on Man Caves! More props, accessories and furniture than you could imagine! Super friendly and professional, I sincerely hope to have more shoots with Brian in the future. If you havent booked a shoot with him yet, hurry up and do so!

Wooo finally got the chance to shoot with Brian in his Man cave! Firstly, Brian is a fab host, great at communications and overall a very nice down to earth guy. I had a lovely time shooting with him and loved his studio set up and props. He knew what he wanted and directed me well but also was happy to listen to my ideas too. I have admired Brians work for a very long time and I can't wait to see our results!

Fab fun enjoyable shoot! Very highly recommended!

Rather super spiffing great, I would recommend Man and his Cave to anyone. I had admired his portfolio for a while and was lucky enough to get to shoot with him and Mike Croshaw when they got together to be experimental last week. I couldn't be happier with the images. He was a super host and i hope i can work with him again next year sometime ;)

Helen Diaz

I had long been an admirer of Brians photography and was buzzing when Brian and photographer Mike Croshaw booked me for a few hours at Brians lovely home! I had worked with Mike before- but it was my first time working with Brian and I really enjoyed myself! Brian is such a lovely, down to earth person, very inspirational and had such a beautiful home and space to shoot in. He was very hospitable, kind and considerate to work with- plus had an amazing assortment of snacks, which I soon demolished!! :) The equipment, company and photographs were gorgeous. Brian is also a chatterbox like myself- I loved his company and conversation, a lovely person who I hope to work with many times over! Highly recommended, Helen x

My second shoot with Brian and it was amazing. Everything has been said about Brian as a great photographer with a great personality and all I can do is to reinforce it again and again. Personally I love the way Brian directs and encouraged me to get the right poses and the outcome is...well at one point I said that was not me! Thank you so much Brian!
